Career & Life 2.0: Engaged?

Want to never work again? Be engaged in your work and your whole life will change. -Dan Moran

The economy has changed. Jobs have changed and are on record paths for growth and opportunity.

People have changed too. And what we look for in a job has changed.

Yes, money is still important. But there is another element that rules job & career success: Engagement

We do not simply want to “go to work”. We seek to be engaged in our work.

In a recent post on the Leadership track on FastCompany.com, I found what I feel is the best definition of engagement in work:

Engaging work is work that draws you in, holds your attention, and gives you a sense of flow. It’s the reason an hour spent editing a spreadsheet can feel like pure drudgery, while an hour playing a computer game can feel like no time at all: Computer games are designed to be as engaging as possible.

If this does not sound like you, and you are not feeling fulfilled, time for a change! Find engagement in your work & career, and as they say, you will never work another day.
